What a disgrace it was, our elders were really right - no man can insult himself like he did... And not that in the last seven days he insulted himself not one, but even three. And not just any, but three leaders - state, party and municipality.
How blam ranks, I have no idea. That's why I don't dare to write that the top three have hit rock bottom this time. Whenever I use that noun with a political connotation in the singular, the politicians manage to surprise me with the plural declension...
I understand the ranking of power more than well, especially if it is accompanied by axisity. And arrogance. And cruelty. And contempt for those who fight against the powerful with humanity, valor and decency...
That's why it's time to hear the first-ranked one first.

- An old woman in Sinjajevina, together with ten to twenty activists of non-governmental organizations, decided to prevent Montenegro as a member of NATO from having its own military training ground and decided that her word should be decisive on where that training ground can and cannot be - he said an old man from Rastok one evening in a studio.
According to the baptism certificate, only ten months separate that old man and that old woman. They are already divided into two ways of life by birth. They chose the division into two worldviews and two Montenegros of their own free will.
At the age of eight, she started looking after cattle, milking, making cheese, cooking... A decade later, with her seven-month-old son in one hand and the steering wheel of a truck in the other, she moved to Sinjajevina. The continuation of her life is written on her face.
At the age of eight, he was only worried about the worries of the school desk. At the age of 29, he took over the steering wheel of the Montenegrin government and led us all to Sunovrat. The continuation of his life is written on his face.
Not even a pea's worth of sweat could be seen as he referred to his form as an old woman. She is not Adrian Zeka, but Mileva Jovanović. There is no "Aman Resorts" but only 20 cows. She got nothing, never from anyone.
If he feels insulted, he cannot even go to court, let alone ask for the return of the racket. Because she was paying him - with her life...

- I was a child of Sinjajevina. That's why I defend her the way I defend her - with my heart and soul. For me, Sinjajevina is not only a valley, foothills, hills and heights, but Sinjajevina is something that cannot be expressed in words. A person can simply feel that. She was always there for me, when I was hungry to feed me with milk, sheep's milk, cow's milk and whatever I was able to milk then and in those years - Gara told Vijesti journalist Jelena Jovanović...
Everyone understood her, anyone who didn't meet her half a year ago should find that wonderful story on the portal...
The old man from Rastok unfortunately did not understand anything. If he did read, he didn't do it with understanding...
Even more regrettably, he can call the defense of a 120.000-hectare pasture "the beginning of the practice that leads us to lithium", and the defense of hundreds or thousands of tycoon's acres - the protection of the state.
The states that he reached the top of litia, only that at that time their majority sign was not religious but - war.
And then he organized that country in such a way that even the CIA and the GRU in cooperation would not be able to find out why he was sweating in front of the cameras. And who (for) bought what around Sveti Stefan: off-shore Aidway Investment Limited, of-dps Adriatic Properties or of-sgp-mne Aman Resorts...

That's how, and not as the President claims, we got lithium... And not "as a result of the old lady" Gara. Rather, the angry face of those who boast of their alleged merits for the liberation of Montenegro from the hybrid regime. Especially since Metropolitan Amfilochius can no longer lead them to a better understanding of the law...
The hybrid humiliation of a dead man, brought about by the pretentiousness of a certain Raković in cooperation with the silence of NSD leader Andrija Mandić, awakened in me several hybrid feelings: pity and disgust, contempt and anger, sadness and disgust.
And I wanted to swear that in humiliating the native metropolitan and native homeland, one cannot lower than last year's congratulations to the winner of the election in another's homeland.
- Seeing how every now and then you open roads, new factories with a large number of jobs, talk and cooperate with representatives of the largest and most powerful countries in the world... - not even young Pinki would have started a letter to his beloved Tito with such admiration.
* * *
Unfortunately, he didn't stop then.
- We are becoming even more dissatisfied with the attitude of the authorities in Montenegro towards their country, where 14 years after the separation from Serbia, they have not managed to complete a single highway, nor to open any plant that employs a large number of workers. Your dedicated work and concrete results in improving the quality of life of the citizens of Serbia create envy among the regime in Podgorica, which is constantly trying to subvert the government in Serbia - it seemed then that Mandić had touched the bottom from the beginning of this scandalous story.
Not that it seems to me now, but I am quite convinced that his metropolitan knew him drastically better. So he moved it out of lithium. And from the election campaign. And prepared the ground for the leader of the Serbian party to put himself in the last place of the most Serbian of all electoral lists.
That after that he won't even be able to join the government - it was clear to everyone even before the future government put its signature under the European course. Because of this, the uproar, which he raised only after the metropolitan's death, cannot be justified in any way, but it can be understood at least somehow.
I have neither justification nor understanding for Andrija Mandić's silence in "Cirilica" regarding the underestimation of the metropolitan who can no longer defend himself.
Whatever I thought and wrote for 30 years about the spiritual and worldly engagement of a man who was not my metropolitan, I would not even in "Latinica" endure to remain silent about his posthumous humiliation.
* * *
I checked, returning the video with difficulty, because even my non-Christian soul cannot bear the way the lively Raković talked about the dead metropolitan.
Yes, for the preparation, organization and performance of the lithia, a certain Raković is the most deserving. After him, several certain but unnamed individuals from Serbia.
I asked... We are from Belgrade... Our idea is... We didn't even ask him for... Nor did we ask for the Metropolitan's blessing to carry icons, because we knew he wouldn't give it to us...
The third on Raković's list of lithia organizers was the all-Serbian movement, whatever he meant by that.
- Of course, we cannot ignore the role of the political representatives of our parties in Montenegro, nor the representatives of the SPC - the self-proclaimed creator of lithium mentioned the church by the way.
- Milo Đukanović can distinguish you for this - exclaimed the host of "Ćirilica" with love.
Not that he can but must, it is difficult to find a faithful servant who would repeat verbatim the President's accusations that he led hundreds of thousands of admirers of the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral, and above all, Metropolitan Amfilohi, to the streets of Montenegro - Belgrade.
* * *
No one can rejoice more than Milo Đukanović at the annulment of everything that Metropolitan Amfilohije did, said, wrote and finally sealed with a tombstone before, during and after the liturgy...
Nor can Andrija Mandić's silence on that topic be washed away by two or three praiseworthy sentences about the metropolitan in the second part of the show. That's why I'm really interested in how Gojko Perović's Cyrillic column, which I expect on this topic, will look like.
I don't expect anything from Đukanović, except for a certain Raković. Because Đukanović, whom I know, must have already raised a toast when Mandić coldly said "our national interests should be the unification of Serbia, Montenegro and Republika Srpska"...
May he be alive and well for a long time, what else could he do but toast when Mandić didn't even cough while Raković rhetorically wondered "what is more natural than for these three Serbian states to live together in one state"...
Nothing, I'm sending three blue bags for the next campaign - Đukanović sighed with satisfaction when he heard that "the problems our brothers in Montenegro have (...) are even more complex than they were before August 30". Amazed that no one from the MP club has thought of using it yet...
What a metropolitan, what dissatisfaction of believers and non-believers, what trifles and tribulations from the election - he triumphantly raised the third toast - Mandić would not have remained silent like this if he did not know that my party was defeated not by little Montenegro but by great Serbia...
* * *
Andrija Mandić is also a pragmatic politician, he will find a way to explain to his followers this "Cirilica" and everything he communicates in the letter of the same name or some other letter.
The rest of Montenegro, and there are more than two-thirds of it, will never be able to justify their silence after the sentence of a certain Raković, which, despite the nausea I feel - with apologies to the people of Cetinje - I have to quote:
- Cetinje, it's the same as Ljubuški, the same as Čapljina, the same as Livno, the same as Gospić, look at the architecture of the Ustasha movement, the worst types were precisely those who shared our first and last names...
PS The embarrassment in Novi Sad that Budva was given by its president, Marko Carević, looks benign compared to the previous two. But the call to come "to your brothers" was really humiliating, because "no politics between brothers can create a border". And just thanking "at the fraternal meeting where we expressed our desire to learn from them so that we too can change Budva"?! Which Budva, the one that was created three and a half millennia ago at the same time as Athens? And that according to the example of "Serbian Athens", which has just turned three centuries old...
